Jesus Tempted By the Devil in the Desert

46. Jesus Is Tempted in the Desert by the Devil.

24th February 1944. Thursday following Ash Wednesday.

I see the solitary land which I already saw on my left-hand side in the vision of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan. But I must be some way inside the desert, because I neither see the beautiful, blue, slow flowing river, nor the green strips of vegetation which coast its banks, and are nourished by its waters. There is nothing here but solitude, stones and such a parched earth that it has become a yellowish dust, raised now and again by the wind in small eddies, …

“Lucifer is very intelligent, in addition to being astute. He uses astuteness to lay snares, but uses intelligence to consider if and when and how he can cause Me affliction and ruin a creature. Believe, too, that he never wastes his time to no purpose.

“Consequently, since, though he is omnipresent on the earth, he has so much to do among the many men inhabiting the globe and, though man's limited attention and scanty desire for good make Lucifer's power …

"The Blessedness of the Christmas ecstasy came to me like the fragrance of a flower enclosed in the living vase of the heart throughout life. Indescribable joy. Human and superhuman. Perfect.

"When the coming of each nightfall hammered the painful memento into my heart--'One day less of waiting, one day closer to Calvary'--and my soul emerged therefrom cloaked in pain, as if a wave of agony would swallow me up on Golgotha, I bent my spirit over the memory of that blessedness which had remained alive in my …

Before I was left by the Most Holy Voice, I said, "O Most Divine One, now that you are speaking often again, they will say that this is not good. Because Father Berti told me that he had convinced them that now You, O Most Divine One, speak very sporadically."

He replied:[Jesus]

"I do as I wish. I have shown that I come every day or do not come for dozens of days, nor do you fill those voids with words of your own. And this is a lesson for them. I have done everything to convince them. But it is as written: 'We played the flute …

On receiving Holy Communion from the hand of Father Migliorini, I rediscover my joy in the Eucharist which Compito had canceled out, that is, the visible presence of my Jesus alongside Father Migliorini. I smile at my sweet Jesus, dressed in white...and, while offering my thanks, I wonder why He is standing to the left of Father. I think his place out to be on the right.

"I am Love. I do not have my own voice because my Voice is in the whole creation and beyond the creation. I am in the whole creation. Like the ether, I spread through all that is; like fire, I inflame; like blood I circulate.

"I am in every word of Christ and flower on the lips of the Virgin. I purify the mouths of the prophets and saints and make them luminous. I am He who inspired things before they existed, for it is my power that, like a heartbeat, moved the creative thought of the Eternal!

"Let us together propel our gaze into the times which, like a placid dawn following a stormy night, will precede the Day of the Lord. You will no longer be present. But from the place of your rest you will exult over it, for you will see man's combat nearing its end and sorrow fading to give the living time to fortify themselves for the last brief convulsion of the Earth, before hearing the command assembling it in all the living, past and present, from the times of Adam onwards.

One man shall not bear the sins of another, but every one his own; if a wicked man truly repent, he shall be saved; and if a just man leave his justice, he shall perish.

[1] And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning? [2] That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. [3] As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel. [4] Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the …

"Let us introduce a pause into the commentary of Isaiah. You are so tired, my friend, and suffering so much that you need comfort and not an extra burden. My words, moreover, are not in disharmony with the subject we are dealing with. But, rather, they are like a 'solo' in the prophetic epic announcing my coming, my mission, my glory.

"We shall thus make a gift to father, who is guiding you and is desirous of hearing about Mary, like a child whose mother is far away and who wants to receive news about her so …

"To recognize the benefits which are received is, even among men, an obligation and a sign of a gracious heart. You judge the ungrateful. And rightly so.

"But, how should God judge, then? When you succeed by God's assistance and see your enterprises prosper, why don't you find a word for Him who has given you that joy? Why do you say, 'I have done this'? Why, swollen with pride, do you exclaim, "The Lord necessarily had to listen to me because I am …

"Finally, consider that the world, age, diseases, time, persecutions conspire against you. Therefore do not be avaricious with what you have received and do not be imprudent. For this reason transmit the Priesthood in My Name to the best disciples, so that the Earth may not be left without priests. And ensure that the sacred character is granted after a severe examination, not verbal, but of the deeds of him who asks to be a priest, or of him whom you judge suitable to be one.

"Those who are not familiar with love and whose conscience is not tranquil fear death. And they are the majority! These, when they feel threatened by death because of illness, or age, or any other event, grow fearful, become afflicted, and rebel. They also try, with all their strength and by every means, to avoid it. Futilely, for when the hour is indicated, no precaution is of use to stave death off.

"The hour of death is also right because it is given by God. I alone am the Master of life and …

"When a man, even when far from knowledge of the true God, knows, by the elevation of an upright soul, that there must be a God and in his heart raises an altar to the unknown God of whom Paul speaks, this man is much closer to God than those who, after having been instructed about the existence of God, have wanted to apply human theories to God's wondrous works.

"Even more idolatrous and even more accursed than those adoring a star or an animal are those who worship their thought or the thought of other …

Book: Five
Chp: 602. Other Teachings on the First Parents and on the Parallelism between Cain and Judas.

5th April 1944.

Jesus says:

« In Genesis we read: "Then Adam named his wife Eve, because she is the mother of all those who live".

Oh! yes. Woman was born of the "Virago" whom God had formed as a companion for Adam, building her from the rib of man. She was born with her sorrowful destiny, because she had wanted to be born in that way, that is with her sorrowful destiny. Because she had wanted to know what God had concealed from her, reserving for Himself the joy of giving her the joy …

Chp: The Eternal Knowledge of Events in Creation and the Eternal Immolation of Christ

August 28

Jesus says:
“When I say I am ‘the eternal Immolated One,’ I am not stating a new concept. Those who were closest to Me—Peter and John—have the same concept. Nor can all those who meditate on the works of the Father and of the Son and of the Spirit have a different one.

“You men are sometimes amazed that God, knowing all things in his infinite Intelligence, should have proceeded to create man, and you almost wonder if God knew or did not know what man would commit.

"I told you that you are this way because you have had the help of Father. No pride should come to him and no discouragement to you, no amazement to anyone, on account of this assertion by Me.

"I am God and need no intermediaries--it's true. But precisely because I am perfect in everything, in intelligence as in love, I thus know what is necessary for you to spur you on and make you feel how I love you. And this asking for your cooperation to carry out my prodigies is not a proof of weakness on my part or of …

"What you wrote on January 30 might spur the distrustful to give preference to their ifs, ands, and buts. I shall respond for you. You wrote,'...When I see that way, the strength of my body, and especially my heart, undergoes great dispersion.'

"There will certainly be 'doctors of the impossible' who say, 'Here is the proof that what is happening is human, for the supernatural always gives strength and never weakness.'

"In the majestic manifestation of Sinai, for men, all for men, I told my Servant the rules to be observed to deserve my blessing.

"And if many of the minute provisions which followed the Decalog--to make putting the Decalog into practice more secure and easier for the men of old--have fallen away in the course of the centuries and with the advent of Christianity, the Decalog has remained and does not change. It shall not change until the last day, and even if it should be granted to the Earth to go …

Chp: Periods in the Life of the Church

December 11

In reference to Zechariah chapters 12, 13, 14

Jesus says:

"My Church has already known periods of obscurantism due to a number of different things. It should not be forgotten that, if the Church, taken as an entity, is a work as perfect as her Founder; 'taken as a group of men', she presents the imperfections proper to what comes from men.

"When the Church--and I am now referring to the gathering of her high dignitaries--acted according to the dictates of My Law and My Gospel, she experienced radiant times of …

"It is natural for the devil to try to disturb you. He can no longer do so with the flesh and thus tries to disturb your spirit.

"He does what is his occupation--that is, try to discourage souls, terrify them, make them waiver. He generally tries to make them sin to distance them from Me. When he is unable to do this, because the soul is quite watchful and the deceit does not enter, he then tries to terrify it and introduce thoughts which are apparently good, but in reality harmful.

"In the lesson on priests I said I would have you reflect on the needs of persons consecrated by special vows, but who are not priests--that is, the virgins enclosed in the monasteries and convents around the world.

"In the mind of the founders, these places were to be as many houses in Bethany where I--weary, disgusted, offended, and persecuted--was to find shelter and love. And they were to be--also in the mind of the founders--many summits where, in the solitude and prayer, pure souls would …

Jesus says:

"Every period has had its forms of piety.

"The Church arose amidst the turbulent waves of the world. Virgins and those consecrated lived mixed in among the pagan throngs, bringing into them the fragrance of Christ, which saturated them, and they conquered the world for Christ.

"Then came the the period of austere separations. To bury oneself to the world, according to the views of the time, was necessary for perfection and the ongoing redemption of souls. From the monasteries, from the …

"I love all souls. I love those of the pure who live as my Heart desires for your good, of the meek, as I am meek, of the generous who expiate for all and continue my Passion, of the merciful who imitate Me in regard to their brothers and sisters. I love sinners because it is for them that I became the Redeemer and went up onto the cross.

Their sins bring Me pain but do not extinguish my love for them, do not extinguish the desire to clasp them to my breast once they have repented. I love the little …

"Today I want to speak to you about grace. You will see that it is related to other topics, even if at first it doesn't seem that way to you. You are a little tired, poor Maria, but write all the same. These lessons will be of use to you in the days of fasting when I, your Master, do no speak to you.

"What is grace? You have studied and explained it many times. But I want to explain it to you in my own way in its nature and in its effects.

Sept/Nov 1950,

Jesus continues speaking:

"The truth about everything is in the Book. For it is the word written through the inspiration of Wisdom--that is, of God. Everything else is pretense, imagination, and human deduction. Only one never errs: God. Man, even the holiest or the most learned in human culture, can always err when speaking or acting as "man"--that is, when not moved by the Holy Spirit, when not illuminated by the Light-Jesus, when his gaze is turned away from the Father-God, no longer seeing Him in …

“You make yourselves instruments of Satan by performing works of iniquity.

“Great or humble, you are no different in acting. You are overbearing and thieving. The great, with great overbearance and thievery. The small, with overbearance and thievery which are always greater than their condition would lead one to believe could be possible, and they are still not content and long to be something more to oppress and rob more.

“There is no social group immune from sin. And those among you who are honest …

"You read in the Book: 'He [the wicked man] will be led to the tomb and keep watch with the throng of the dead: pleasing to the gravel of Hell, he, will draw all men after him and an innumerable crowd before him.'

"All mankind is sinful. One single creature did not savor, I won't say 'the bitter taste,' but 'the bitter smell' of sin. And that was Mary, my very sweet Mother, She who did not cause Me to miss the Paradise I had left to become Flesh in your midst and redeem your flesh, for in Mary I found the …

"When the time of my peaceful Kingdom comes--and it shall come, for I have promised, and I do not fail to keep my promises--the good on earth will all come to Me. It will be the period about which I have spoken to you, the period when the spirit will have reached that evolution whereby you will spontaneously separate into two parts. Those living outside the spirit will lie in their darkness, waiting to be the militia for the Prince of Evil. Those living in the spirit will come into the …

"The archangel who overcame Lucifer and who stands guard over my Kingdom and the children of it will be the one to rise up as a heavenly sign in the last time. This will be the time when Israel is rejoined to Christ's Rome and there are no longer the two branches of the people of God: the blessed one and the one accursed for its deicide, but one single trunk to be called Christ's because it is living in Me.

"Then, since the number of the saved will be complete, the resurrection of the flesh …

Jesus says:

"My poor daughter so sickened by what surrounds you, both at home and in your country, listen to Me. Last night I was close by to you, a comfort which is not lacking to those suffering without separating from Me.

"If all were able--instead of just cursing over all of life's troubles, afflictions, and misfortunes--if all were able to come to Me when their neighbor offends, nips, harms, calumniates, deceives, degrades, or strikes with indifference, anticharity, or incomprehension, as if with a …

[21] And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. [22] And the voice of harpers, and of …

"I have dictated a Holy Hour for those who were wanting it. I have taken the veil from My Hour of Agony in Gethsemane to give you a great prize, because there is no greater act of confidence between friends than that of revealing to the friend one's own suffering. The smile and the kiss are not the supreme proof of love, but tears and pain made known to the friend are. You, My friend, have known this. Since you were with Me in Gethsemane. And now you are on the Cross. And you feel the …

21st August 1951.

Mary is still in the house of the Supper room. All alone in Her usual room, She is sewing some very fine linen cloths, like long narrow table-cloths. Now and again She raises Her head to look at the garden and ascertain thus the time of the day by the position of the sunshine on its walls. And if She hears a noise in the house or in the street, She listens carefully. She seems to be waiting for someone.

Isaiah 7:10-16

The Father says:

"What my son of old, out of holy fear of God, prudently did not want to do, resisting temptation I had sent him as a trial, is what you are now requesting, not because of a temptation coming from Me, but through a regurgitation of your rebellious spirit guided by the forces of Evil, instigated by your Enemy, whom you love more than you love Me, your Most High Lord above there is no other.

"The Following had already been expressed since ancient times: 'If God grants peace, who can condemn?' [verse 29]

"And yet those doctors of the Law who always accused Me, and who knew to perfection the words of the Book, judged it differently. Why? Because they knew the Law in its letter, but did not comprehend the spirit of the letter. They are in every way like the doctors of today who, with ridiculous and cruel pretexts, judge and condemn My favorites, and Me with them.

The look of a child, if his spirit is united to God, can cause vain temples to collapse, without shaking them as Samson did, it can command wild beasts and men-beasts to be meek, it can repel death and defeat diseases of the spirit, and the word of a child, united to God and an instrument of God can also cure diseases, make the poison of snakes …

Jesus is speaking to the crowds. Standing on the wooded embankment of a little torrent, He is addressing a large crowd spread in a field where the corn has already been cut and the burnt stubble's are a distressing sight. It is evening. Night is falling, but the moon is already rising. Flocks of sheep are going back to the folds and the sound of cattle-bells mingles with the loud chirping of crickets and the high-pitched drone of cicadas. Jesus takes the passing flocks as a starting point.
